Swiss researchers have developed a new technique allowing for magnetic polarity changes using only a laser beam.

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...

A new method for combining magnetic elements with semiconductors—which are vital materials for computers and other electronic devices—was unveiled by a research team led by the California NanoSystems ...

'Soft robots,' medical devices and implants, and next-generation drug delivery methods could soon be guided with magnetism -- thanks to a metal-free magnetic gel developed by researchers. Carbon-based ...

Researchers created a new quantum state of matter, dubbed a higher-order topological magnet, that may address key issues in quantum technology. When different quantum states combine, new collective ...
